This phenomenon is characterized by energy dissipating from integral length scales to Taylor microscales to Kolmogorov scales, an energy cascade introduced by Lewis Fry Richardson. One contribution to the study of this phenomenon related the turbulent stresses to the mean flow, the (*) Boussinesq hypothesis. This phenomenon is associated with vortex stretching and the development of eddies. This phenomenon typically occurs at high Reynolds numbers, at least four thousand for pipe flow. For 10 points, name this flow regime contrasted with laminar flow that refers to chaotic, stochastic motion.
